Antares is a red super giant. It is approximately 800 times larger than our Sun. If our Sun was replaced by Antares, it would reach out beyond the orbit of Mars.
Around 512 million Suns could fit inside Antares.

UY Scuti is a star that is much bigger than Antares. It is classified as a red supergiant and is one of the largest known stars, with a radius over 1,700 times that of the Sun. In comparison, Antares, also a red supergiant, has a radius about 800 times that of the Sun. This makes UY Scuti significantly larger than Antares.
No, Antares is bigger than Betelgeuse. Antares is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 700 times that of the Sun, while Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 600 times that of the Sun.
no.Not even close.Antares is over 20x bigger then the sun.The sun is nothing compared to this star.But not even the antares star is big. The biggest star in the galaxy is called the vy canis majoris. The canis majoris makes antares look like it is invisible!
Actully, there are more than just four stars bigger than the sun. 5% of the stars are bigger than the sun. The sun just looks so big because it's closer to Earth. :~)
Rigel: 71 solar radiiAntares: 883 solar radii.So Antares is over twelve times larger than Rigel.See related link for a pictorial of the difference (Section 5).
antares is much bigger than the sun, it is like a basketball comparing to a dot of rice

Yes, it has a radius about 1000 times the radius of the sun.
Antares is around 700 times larger in diameter than Earth. This means that if you were to place Antares in our solar system where the Sun is, it would engulf the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
A Red Giant Stars that are much bigger than the sun are the giants and of course the super giants, which are the stars with the biggest size. If you want a specific one, Betelgeuse or Antares would be good choices.
yes it is hotter than the sun closest to us [earth]
